The producers of In Focus with Martin Sheen have announced an upcoming report highlighting financial aid options for American students seeking higher education. The report is part of the show's continuing commitment to education in the United States.

In Focus with Martin Sheen is an independently produced television program airing on public television stations around the country. The show is hosted by the legendary Martin Sheen. Mr. Sheen is one of the most decorated actors in Hollywood, appearing in more than 60 films during his long career. Martin Sheen is approaching 50 years since his first appearance on national television. In Focus Martin Sheen is concerned with the future of education in America and this new report will showcase how groups are helping students prepare for the future.

As higher education becomes more expensive, more groups are helping students achieve their dreams of a college education. Scholarships do help some students, but often scholarships do not completely cover the cost of college and there simply are too few funds available to accommodate all students. Sallie Mae is just one organization offering low interest loans to students who are pursuing a brighter future through education. Banks and other groups are working to provide more accessible college funds to help prepare college students for the information economy that is a growing part of the US employment market.
